Product Description
Progynova 2mg is a medication used to prevent pregnancy. Each tablet contains 2 mg of estradiol valerate. It is a hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) to treat signs and symptoms of estrogen deficiency due to menopause. Besides preventing pregnancy, contraceptive pills may make your periods irregular, decrease blood loss and painful periods, decrease your risk of ovarian cysts, and treat acne.
Progynova 2 mg does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhoea, HIV, and chlamydia).
How To Use

If you have questions about using Progynova, please talk to your doctor. It is important to continue taking the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes. To achieve the effectiveness of contraceptives, the medicine must be taken as directed. The tablet should not be skipped or intake delayed by more than twelve hours.

Women whose periods are infrequent, with amenorrhoea, or postmenopausal, may start at any time, provided pregnancy has been excluded.
